Using quantum representations of mapping class groups we prove that profinite completions of Burnside-type surface group quotients are not virtually prosolvable, in general. Further, we construct infinitely many finite simple characteristic…

A number of conditions were found under which a sharply doubly transitive permutation group has an abelian normal divider.

Consider a discrete valuation ring $R$ whose residue field is finite of cardinality at least $3$. For a finite torsion module, we consider transitive subsets $O$ under the action of the automorphism group of the module. We prove that the…

In his famous monograph on permutation groups, H.~Wielandt gives an example of a Schur ring over an elementary abelian group of order $p^2$ ($p>3$ is a prime), which is non-schurian, that is, it is the transitivity module of no permutation…

We introduce a notion of permutation presentations of modules over finite groups, and completely determine finite groups over which every module has a permutation presentation. To get this result, we prove that every coflasque module over a…

We prove that the additive group of the rationals does not have an automatic presentation. The proof also applies to certain other abelian groups, for example, torsion-free groups that are $p$-divisible for infinitely many primes $p$, or…

It is proved in [21] that there is a constant $c$ such that each transitive permutation group of degree $d\ge 2$ can be generated by $\lfloor cd/\sqrt{\log{d}}\rfloor$ elements. In this paper, we explicitly estimate $c$.

Suppose that all nontrivial subsections of a $p$-block $B$ are conjugate (where $p$ is a prime). By using the classification of the finite simple groups, we prove that the defect groups of $B$ are either extraspecial of order $p^3$ with $p…

In this short note we answer to a question of group theory from arXiv:0910.5080. In that paper the author describes the set of realizable Steinitz classes for so-called $A'$-groups of odd order, obtained iterating some direct and semidirect…

Given a permutation group $G$, the derangement graph of $G$ is the Cayley graph with connection set the derangements of $G$. The group $G$ is said to be innately transitive if $G$ has a transitive minimal normal subgroup. Clearly, every…

Let G be a transitive group of permutations of a finite set X, and suppose that some element of G has at most two orbits on X. We prove that any two maximal chains of groups between G and a point-stabilizer of G have the same length, and…

We describe all closed permutation groups which act on the set of vectors of a countable vector space $V$ over a prime field of odd order and which contain all automorphisms of $V$. In particular, we prove that their number is finite. These…

The paper contains a proof of the conjecture of M. Klin and D. Maru$\breve{\rm s}$i$\breve{\rm c}$ that an automorphism group of a transitive graph contains a permutation, decomposed in cycles of the same length. The proof is based on the…

A deflatable permutation class is one in which the simple permutations are contained in a proper subclass. Deflatable permutation classes are often easier to describe and enumerate than non-deflatable ones. Some theorems which guarantee…

We prove that every transitive and non minimal semigroup with dense minimal points is sensitive. When the system is almost open, we obtain a generalization of this result.

The subgroup commutativity degree of a group G has been defined in [6] as the probability that two subgroups of G commute, or equivalently that the product of two subgroups is again a subgroup. Problem 4.3 of [6] asks whether there exist…

Using a characterization of parabolics in reductive Lie groups due to Furstenberg, elementary properties of buildings, and some algebraic topology, we give a new proof of Tits' classification of 2-transitive Lie groups.

We prove that if $G$ is a transitive permutation group of sufficiently large degree $n$, then either $G$ is primitive and Frobenius, or the proportion of derangements in $G$ is larger than $1/(2n^{1/2})$. This is sharp, generalizes…

A base of a permutation group (X,G) is a subset B of X such that its pointwise stabilizer is the trivial group. A list (x1,x2, ... ,xk) of elements of X is irredundant if each element is not in the pointwise stabilizer of its predecessors.…

A general theory of permutation orbifolds is developed for arbitrary twist groups. Explicit expressions for the number of primaries, the partition function, the genus one characters, the matrix elements of modular transformations and for…
